La Mandria Natural Park, Protected natural area in Province of Turin, Italy
La Mandria is a natural park in the Metropolitan City of Turin, covering several thousand hectares of woodland, meadow, and wetland. A stone wall roughly 30 kilometers long encloses the entire area and defines different habitats for wildlife.
The regional council of Piedmont established this nature reserve in 1978 to protect the last remaining section of forest that once covered the Po Plain. The grounds previously served as royal hunting estate and summer residence for the House of Savoy.
The name Mandria comes from the Italian word for herd, recalling the royal stables that once stood on these grounds. Visitors today can still see the historic buildings in Borgo Castello and watch local riders using the meadows and forest paths for outings.
The area has several entrances including Bella Rosina, Fiano, and Robassomero, with walking trails leading into different parts of the reserve. Guided tours and educational programs run regularly to help visitors learn about the flora and fauna.
The reserve maintains breeding programs for rare horse breeds while also providing habitat for free-roaming wild boars and deer. Visitors often spot these animals along the forest edges during early morning or evening hours.
